...ght I'd give this a go at the weekend. The printers are TCP/IP on Axis print servers. I've set them up in UnixWare as type 'other' and routing through to the correct IP address. A SCO person told me to do the following lpadmin -p <printer-name> -I "pcl raw" lpshut lpsched He then said to run 'lpadmin -p -l | pg' to check the filter is available, but I don't know what this is supposed to do - I get an error saying "The names "any" "all" and "non" are reserved". In smb.conf I have [global] print...

...cl" Then set: print command = lp -c -d %p -T pcl %s; rm %s IE: declare all samba jobs of type pcl and all HPs capable of type pcl. Instead of the lpadmin command you could edit the /etc/lp/printers/printername/configuration file and set: Content types: simple,postscript,pcl Then lpshut; lpsched the system. I also have pcl2ps installed using lpfilter. It's a perl filter I wrote that strips pcl headers off the postscript jobs created by the postscript HP drivers allowing them to be printed on postscript printers. Hope this is of some use, michaelj

...an filter is OK because it only touches samba jobs. Local unix text jobs are going through a different filter path. For example if you like pretty borders on your unix printouts set up the system's simple to postscript filter to your taste and remove type simple from your printer definition. lpshut vi /etc/lp/printers/hp8000/configuration lpsched If you are interested I'll mail you the 2 screens of perl that constitute pcl2ps. Michaelj PS: If anyone else is interested pcl2ps would be improved by a more informative error message giving user source and jobname... Michael James...
